Also, the phone could then be plugged in with it’s touchscreen facing outward. This way, the tablet would get a backside trackpad ;)

It’s not a real phone and never will be… it’s wasn’t even commissioned by HTC. This is a “phone” that an art student drew up on his mac. These is not model of it out there… working or otherwise. Did slashgear tell you that to recharge the “tube” phone, all you have to do is shove it up your ass?

I’ve wanted something like that for quite some time. Then I could have an internet connected tablet, which is something I’m currently not willing to shell out for. Just having the larger screen and a bigger battery would be great, then I could have a smaller phone form factor too.

That makes way more sense than a $500 Atrix dock.

Also, if I were to do an upgrade, I find it better to just upgrade the entire device so that all aspects of the device are upgraded rather than just one component. I would rather have all components upgraded than have a mix of new and old components.

Would be a good way for companies to evade screen shortages too(long term of course).
